Sfizio serves best Italian food in town! Our first visit and we had Ravioli matching with Sfizio pizza~ such a combo for us! Two thumbs up! Place and location is great. Highly recommended!

Came for my zio’s 85th birthday. The seasoned schiacciata number 3 olive tapenade bocconcini with evoo. Food was amazing. I had linguine marinara as a main. All food tasted great. Food came out in timely manner. Very good portion size. Last time I came here I had salt and pepper squid wish was very tender to.

love the food and the service really good. i like spagetti marinara, and they used Barilla spagetti. and i got 2 sourdough and butter for free. not sure is everyday or is just my luck. and they will give u a shredded parmesan for free. its better u reserved it before come.

This is a very popular Italian restaurant in Norwood, which is always packed with customers. They have very accommodating staff who are helpful, come with smiles, and greet you when you are arriving / leaving. I came here for cakes and coffee without making advance booking. We arrived at around 3:00 pm on Mother's Day. The restaurant was still busy but the staff quickly arranged one spare table for us. We ordered a New York Cheese cake and a Tiramisu, plus coffees. The prices were very reasonable as the cakes were around $7 to $8 per piece. The cakes were fabulous, and the coffees were simply exceptional. I believe most customers come here for their pizza and pasta. I will definitely come back again with my whole family to enjoy an Italian dinner later.

My partner and I came in for dinner tonight and we both have to agree we had the best customer service. Everyone was so lovely from the moment we walked in the door. Food was lovely. Staff were super friendly and the overall vibe was great. We will definitely be back. I think it might become one of our favourites for date night

I booked a table for five & we all had the most delicious tastiest Spaghetti Bolognaise & Pizza dinner ever… Also, we received exceptional customer service from the amazing Manager, Patrick & The Staff were courteous & attentive. We know you’re not the best Italian Restaurant in South Australia, YOU’RE THE GREATEST!!! AAAHHH SFIZIO BELLISSIMO, can’t wait to go back…

Really nice place for a Sunday lunch. Extensive menu and pizza that smelt delicious. Lots of people, happy atmosphere, just a bit noisy for me. Met a friend, had a nice light lunch with drinks and have no complaints. Didn't see if there was a sign to just sit anywhere that wasn't reserved, but all waitresses ignored me for the first five minutes until I could grab someone's attention and no greeting to welcome you, just assumed knowledge. Would return as the gelato looks great!
